CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 328: THE IDENTITY OF MARQUIS NING

Gu Huan looked at the two people.

Especially seeing Chen Xuan and Gu Pengyou so close, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

However, he still maintained a faint smile on the surface.

"He is Xuan Er!"

Gu Pengyou introduced.

"What?!"

Gu Huan’s pupils suddenly dilated, and he was extremely shocked.

He is Xuan Er, the Dao realm expert his father mentioned.

So young!

"Elder brother?"

Gu Pengyou saw him somewhat dazed and immediately called out, guessing he was stunned.

"Ah..."

Gu Huan immediately came to his senses, about to say something but was interrupted by Gu Pengyou.

"Is Second Uncle in the study?"

"Father is in the study!"

Gu Pengyou nodded, then looked at Chen Xuan, "This way, please!"

"Alright!"

Watching the two head towards the study, Gu Huan felt a mix of emotions, but quickly followed.

When the three arrived at the study door.

Gu Huan stepped forward to knock on the door first.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Father, Pengyou and Elder... Elder are here!"

He subconsciously wanted to call him Brother Xuan, but remembering his Dao realm status, he quickly changed to Elder Xuan.

Gu Yun, who was cultivating, immediately stopped upon hearing it was Xuan Er.

Stepped to the door and opened it.

"Haha... Brother Xuan, what wind has blown you over here?"

Gu Yun laughed loudly, then immediately stepped aside, "Come in, come in!"

"Thanks, Brother Gu!"

Chen Xuan cupped his hands and walked in first.

As for Gu Pengyou and Gu Huan, they followed behind Gu Yun.

"Come, have a seat."

Gu Yun was very hospitable, "Gu Huan, go brew the best spirit tea your father has and bring it here."

"Yes, Father!"

Gu Huan gave a slight bow, having not even said a word upon entering the study, he was already given a task.

"Brother Gu, you are too kind."

Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Haha, Brother Xuan is here, of course, we must treat you well."

Observing the way they addressed each other, Gu Pengyou’s expression seemed slightly off.

He addressed Chen Xuan as Young Master Xuan, sometimes also as Brother Xuan, while his second uncle also called him Brother Xuan.

Gu Huan addressed him as Elder Xuan!

The generational titles... it’s getting chaotic.

"By the way, Brother Xuan must have a purpose for your visit this time. Just say it, I will not delay."

Gu Yun waved his hand grandly, appearing very magnanimous.

Because he currently thought highly of Chen Xuan, whether in terms of talent or otherwise.

He even thought before about matchmaking him with Pengyou!

Seeing this, Chen Xuan did not beat around the bush but directly asked, "Regarding Ning Immortal."

"About that girl?"

"You mean... the demonic aura in her body that can’t be removed?"

Gu Yun instantly guessed it.

However, he was becoming more and more curious about what exactly was the relationship between Chen Xuan and Marquis Ning?

He was so concerned about Ning Immortal?

"Yes!"

Chen Xuan nodded, continuing, "I’ve seen those other girls already, and the demonic aura in their bodies has almost completely dissipated. But only she seems unaffected, even with the same cultivation technique. Brother Gu, do you know why this is?"

"Sigh!"

Hearing this, Gu Yun sighed, also looking helpless.

"The situation with this girl was beyond what I anticipated. You might not know, the cultivation technique she is practicing is called Guiyuan Technique, an ancient cultivation technique left behind."

"And it was specifically created for people like her, allowing her to decide whether to be human or part of the Demon Race at the beginning of cultivation."

"Once chosen, they will cultivate towards that direction."

"What an incredible cultivation technique!"

Chen Xuan secretly thought to himself.

"But... you know her demonic bloodline is the Purple Cloud Spirit Fox, right?"

Gu Yun asked.

"Yes, I know this."

"The problem arises here, the Purple Cloud Spirit Fox bloodline is too strong, and even the Guiyuan Technique cannot completely erase her demonic bloodline."

"Moreover, what’s even more severe is... as her power grows, the two forces within her body might enter a stalemate."

"At that time, what will happen, no one knows."

"Is that so..."

Chen Xuan murmured to himself.

Then... the trouble is big.

Meanwhile, Gu Pengyou’s expression also began to look bad.

So he immediately asked Gu Yun, "Second Uncle, is there really no way to remedy this?"

Though she hadn’t interacted much with Ning Immortal, Xian Si, except for several people from the Gu Family, was practically her only friend.

She couldn’t just stand by.

"It’s difficult!"

Gu Yun said solemnly.

"Then Sister Xian..."

Gu Pengyou’s expression turned worried. She knew Xian Si and Ning Immortal were as close as sisters, with Ning Immortal even treating her like her own mother.

If such a situation really arose, then... it was imaginable how distressed Xian Si would be.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan spoke up, "Difficult? But there should be a way, right?"

Because if it were truly unsolvable, Gu Yun wouldn’t have phrased it that way.

"Hmm...."

Gu Yun pondered for a moment, not because he was unwilling to speak.

It’s just... saying it wouldn’t be of use.

"Second Uncle, hurry and tell us!"

Gu Pengyou urged.

Thus, Gu Yun finally spoke, but instead, he asked Chen Xuan, "Brother Xuan, do you know what is fundamental to a Martial Artist?"

Chen Xuan suddenly frowned.

Not understanding what he meant by this?

But this too was difficult to answer.

Talent? Since this determined the limit of Martial Dao.

But it didn’t feel right.

So he shook his head, "It’s hard to say, as this involves many aspects."

"It is essence!"

Gu Yun stated with great certainty.

This reminded Chen Xuan that during the Human Realm’s great battle against the Demon Race, the two arrays set by Xia Yi served specifically to absorb those essences, thereby nurturing the two National Spirits.

"Essence is the foundation for anyone, determining their physique as an ordinary person, and for a Martial Artist, it is the foundation of their cultivation."
